This Belgian behemoth was the first man to snatch 400 pounds and was considered the greatest rival of the most famous weightlifter of all time, Vasily Alexeyev. Siff saw Reding squat, all the way down, without wraps, 880 pounds for 5 reps and perform repeated jumps a foot off the ground while holding 286 pounds in his hands!  When Serge Reding stayed with our family, he shared an enormous amount of material with me, recalls Siff.  He stressed that  core exercises (such as the squat and power clean) were of little value if even one minor muscle group is weak and lets you down in competition. <br> <br> From Pommel Horse <br>to Car Seat<br><br>Although the glute-ham raise had been used by European athletes since the turn of the century, American athletes were introduced to it in 1971 through Strength and Health magazine. The magazine showed pictures of Russian weightlifters performing the lift on a pommel horse in front of wooden stall bars.<br>American weightlifter Bud Charniga saw the article and decided to include the new exercise in his exercise arsenal.  What I did was take a padded car seat and nail it to a carpenter s bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooked my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Becaue the car seat Charniga used was padded and had a much sharper curve than the pommel horses the Russians were using, he noticed something unusual.  I noticed that when I did the exercise, the curved surface of the car seat helped me flex my knees more so that I could get a greater range of motion. Although you can t directly atribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted that in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he snatched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visited Russia and found that every gym he looked in had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the tis regular A.M. workout and that evening pitched a one hitter and went four for five with two doubles.&nbsp; He finished the season with a 2 &amp; 3 record, 1.47 ERA as a pitcher.&nbsp; He also plays shortstop and third base, with a .519 batting average.&nbsp; He set the school record for Triples in a season (5) and was named the teams Defensive Player of the Year.&nbsp; Joe plays Varsity golf, basketball, baseball, hockey and this fall will be trying out for our football team instead of golf.</P> <PThe personal gains of the over 100 young people (male, female, junior high and high schools) are too numerous to list, but I really believe we are on the right road and are heading for our Upper Limit.&nbsp; Thanks Bigger Faster Stronger, for all of your help and ideas! </P>es, 4 Maxwell Trophy Winners and were National Football Champions in 1926.
